If you haven't tried using desiccated coconut, then you are missing a lot. I haven't even thought about desiccated coconut at all ever. But when I tried this delicious Filipino macaroons made from desiccated coconuts at my friend's party, I just have to know how it was made.

You must have eaten cacao butter at one time or another. Not cacao butter on its own maybe, but if you have eaten chocolate, then you have eaten cacao butter. Cacao butter, also known as theobroma oil, is fat extracted from the beans of the cacao fruit. It is used to make chocolate.

That refined sugar is bad for your health is no secret. Because of this, people have looked (and found) alternative ways to sweeten food without all the bad strings attached. One alternative sugar that's rising in popularity is coconut sugar.

Seriously, is there anything coconut oil can't do? Maybe. But it can tame frizzy hair, whiten teeth, make food recipes even more delicious, burn calories and so many more. It can take care of so many things inside-out, from the tip of your hair down to your toenails.

Do you often buy coconut oil? It has many personal and culinary uses. My family has been into coconut oil for decades using it as a hair conditioner, to treat skin problems, as a massage oil, to make all sorts of desserts and so many more.

Understanding Coconut Oil Labels While we all know that coconut oil is practically an all-around item (as a stain remover, as a teeth whitener, for baking and cooking, for dry hair, etc) and can basically do anything, buying it is a bit complicated.

One of the superfoods in the market today that's slowly coming out of anonymity is chia seeds. Have you noticed those black, sometimes white seeds when you order muffins or a bowl of pudding from your specialty restaurant? Those are chia seeds and they are there for a reason.

The negative effects of refined white flour have already been exposed by numerous studies. It's been out there for quite some time now. Today, most people are aware that refined white flour may cause several health problems: weight gain due to metabolic slowdown, type 2 diabetes.

Gone are the days when refined sugar dominated the scene. When it has been discovered that refined sugar can cause obesity, heart disease, diabetes, mood swings and other bad effects in the body, people began looking for healthier alternatives.

It's amazing to think that for a fruit as small as blueberries, it contains such an incredible amount of nutrients. Just a quick research would give you lots of information about its nutritional profile.

Turning blackcurrants into syrup is one way of enjoying the fruit even when blackcurrant season is over. Because of its intensely tangy flavor that could not be overpowered by sugar or dilution, blackcurrants are perfect to make as syrup.

Usually, we are afraid of what we do not know. That is why people who are not very familiar with almond flour are intimidated to use it. They are used to white flour and so they keep using it in recipes, this despite the fact that almond flour is much, much healthier.

The rise in demand for organic food is apparent. The surge is not limited to one country alone but worldwide. Where it used to be found only in upscale retailers and specialty stores, organic food can now be accessed in mainstream channels.

A lot of people know organic food is healthier and safer to eat than conventionally-grown food. They also think it would the cheaper choice because its production doesn't include expenses for chemicals, antibiotics and pesticides.

Let's admit it. Wheatgrass could be a little daunting to use. It just isn't a commonplace ingredient in smoothies as, say, apples and cucumbers, carrots and pineapples or ginger and lemons combo. We wouldn't hesitate to blend and drink those.
